Tenuta Delle Ripalte

The Tenuta Delle Ripalte is one of the last hidden natural paradises in Europe! We really enjoyed the quiet vineyard. The extraordinary sunrises and sunsets will remain in our memories forever. See you next year!

Again we chose to spend our summer holiday at the Tenuta Delle Ripalte. We stayed at an apartment and enjoyed the aircondition as it was quite hot this time. We knew what to expect and again we spent time at the lovely natural beaches, swimming, snorkeling, relaxing. The staff at Remaiolo is very helpful and cheerful. An umbrella with two beds costs 30 Euro, which seems to be the usual price, and can be reserved by phone. The boat trip can also be recommended to see a bit of the coast and go snorkeling in another place. The restaurant at Remaiolo serves some tasty dishes and the staff is friendly. There‘s a griglata of fish on Tuesday evening - unfortunately no real vegetarian alternative and a long time between the courses, which could improve with time. While my daughters and I enjoyed riding on the sure-footed Arabian horses my husband took some Tennis lessons and enjoyed mountain biking on the various trails through the fantastic landscape. I‘d like to specially recommend the free yoga lessons by Michele every Monday to Friday morning, no reservation needed. As a beginner I felt comfortable among the more experienced Yoginis. What a great way to start the day, connecting body, breath and mind!

We had a fantastic time at the Tenuta: if you like Yoga (Michele is the best), Tennis or horse back riding - this is the place to go! The food is also fantastic and the staff simply grande!!! Thank you guys - it was a very special holiday!!!

We have been postponing this small vacation in Elba for some time, but we eventually made it, hosted by the Tenuta della Ripalte. The place is acclaimed as a high end retreat and I have no reason to say otherwise. If isolation you are after, this is definitely the place for you. Villas scattered across what it seems to be a peninsula of Elba nearby Capoliveri. Very French feel to the place, with dated buildings and amenities. Take it as a compliment to the place. Outdoor activities also available, as horse riding and mountain biking. A gorgeous private beach, endless vineyards and breathtaking view point terrace recknown for its sightseeing. I would add a classy restaurant with molecular dishes that it is worth experiencing. Not necessarily delighted with the long drive to reach the place, long dirt roads that we had to climb with a little rented run around every time we had to leave the place. The sight seeing compensated but still pretty annoying. My final recommendation to the patrons of the place: for God sake, for such a sunny plave, put some drapes in bedroom! We had to improvise with blankets .. not very 5 starish feeling, but overall .. good experience but unlikely to return to this particular accomodation. Elba see you soon but we might sleep somewhere else!

We have been at Tenuta for the 2nd time, as our children love the Tenniscamp there, which is really great!!! Especially the one with Riccardo Piatti. The environment is very beautiful, the staff is friendly and the beaches perfect.... But thre are some point for improvement: - very sad for the children that they cannot eat Pizza in the ressort, its Italy.... - if you are a sporty person and don´t do Tennis, mountain-biking or horse-riding its very difficult... yes there is Yoga, which is great, bit it would be great to offer either a gym or some courses like Body Shape, Aerobic, Body Pump,... - some days the sanitary rooms near the pool were dirty and no toilet paper - some of the staff at the Bar le Vele was very very slow (one time we waited over 1 hour for a salad) But all in all it is paradise there and we will come back!

5* hospitality, Restaurant & Bar staff very friendly and service minded. Very well organized and clean properties. We will definitely come back for more holidays, and tennis camps with Piatti. Beach navet was perfect and every 30 minutes.
